The car pulled away from the Gu Family’s property, with Gu Qingxin seated inside, her eyes looking out. Suddenly Meng Zhenglin leaned in, resting on the seat in front of her. Stunned, Gu Qingxin turned her head, almost bumping into his face.

“What are you doing?” Gu Qingxin immediately tried to push him away, but Meng Zhenglin pulled the seatbelt over her, fastening it and smiling, “It’s always safer to wear a seatbelt when in a car.”

Gu Qingxin frowned and glanced down at the seatbelt on her. Reluctantly, she said thank you, while at the same time her suspicions grew. If he honestly thought that it was unsafe to ride in a car without a seatbelt, a mere reminder would have sufficed. Was there a need to buckle the seatbelt for her personally?

Just now, when she had turned her head, her lips were close to touching his.

Gu Qingxin immediately looked at the rear-view mirror in front of her. Tang Rongling seemed to be fully focused on driving, not noticing the circumstances happening in the backseat at all.

An unexplainable sour feeling crept into Gu Qingxin’s eyes. She was almost taken advantage of by a stranger, yet he remained wholly indifferent.

She was familiar with the young master of the Meng family. Despite his gentlemanly appearance, he was infamous among their circle. When he was a teenager, a girl had died on the operation table from aborting his child. He took pride in toying with girls’ affections, and the number of young women he had led to ruin was countless.

It was a fact known to everyone; how could Tang Rongling not be aware?

Of course, he knew. He simply didn’t care.

The disdainful feeling was akin to being slapped right in the face…

Sitting beside her, Meng Zhenglin began to covertly observe Gu Qingxin. The enticing beauty of this girl was making his heart itch. He wished he could immediately hold her and express affection.

“I just remembered that I have a gift in my office which would be suitable to give to Grandma Gu. Since we are together, why don’t you come with me to pick it up?”

Meng Zhenglin and Gu Yunci exchanged looks. Having read his intent, she turned her head to Tang Rongling softly, “Ah Ling, let’s go then.”

Tang Rongling glanced at the girl who sat in the backseat, remembering the intentions of the Gu Family, and drove towards the office of Meng Zhenglin.

He understood. The Gu Family most probably introduced her to Meng Zhenglin, in the fear she would keep entangling herself with him.

The Gu Family and Meng family were originally business partners and this would bring the two families even closer.

That served him well. As far as Gu Qingxin was concerned, he was already fed up with her unrelenting attention.

The so-called “office” was actually a suite at the top floor of an entertainment city owned by Meng Zhenglin, for his convenience whenever he wanted to enjoy with women.

Gu Qingxin followed the group into Meng Xilin’s ‘office’. Suddenly, Gu Yunci said she had forgotten something in the car and asked Tang Rongling to accompany her back to get it.

As the two of them left, Gu Qingxin immediately became alert and wanted to leave with them, but her arm was caught by Meng Zhenglin.

“Don’t touch me, what are you trying to do?! Tang Rongling, don’t leave me here!”

Gu Qingxin instinctively called out to Tang Rongling for help, but Tang Rongling only hesitated for a second before leaving with Gu Yunci.

Gu Qingxin watched dismayed as the door was closed, and she could distinctly hear the sound of her heart breaking…

“Little darling, stop looking. The Gu Family has already promised you to me. As long as you marry me, I guarantee you’ll lead a good life.” Meng Zhenglin touched her soft cheeks; the feeling on his hands was too enticing.

“Don’t touch me!” Outraged, Gu Qingxin shook him off and slapped him across the face.

With a loud smack, Meng Zhenglin was shocked. Fuming with rage, he lunged forward and grabbed Gu Qingxin by the neck.

In his eyes, Gu Qingxin was nothing but an outcast of the Gu Family. But she was being courted by him, the handsome Meng Zhenglin. It was her good fortune, and yet she dared to defy him!

Gu Qingxin lifted a leg to kick him. Meng Zhenglin held in the pain, anger is evident on his face. He slapped Gu Qingxin and exclaimed, “Slut, how dare you kick me, 1’11 kill you today!”

Gu Qingxin fell to the ground. Meng Zhenglin was incredibly strong. Gu Qingxin was left dizzy from the blow and couldn’t even muster the strength to get up. She started coughing lightly as Meng Zhenglin used ropes to bind her hands behind her back.

He tossed a bag of tools aside with a clatter. Gu Qingxin stared at the candle before her, biting down on her lip as tears started to roll down.

Tang Rongling, is this what you wished for?

Meng Zhenglin squatted down in front of Gu Qingxin, gripped her cheek in his hand, and said with a cold laugh, “Still thinking you are the esteemed Miss Gu? Look at your pathetic self. For me, Meng Zhenglin, to deem you worthy, consider yourself lucky!”

“Don’t touch me, get away! Help!” Gu Qingxin struggled with all her might, but her strength was nothing compared to that of a grown man.

Suddenly, Gu Qingxin turned her head and fiercely sank her teeth into Meng Zhenglin’s ear. He screamed. Gu Qingxin bit hard. Were it not for his timely reaction, a piece of his ear would’ve been bitten off.

Meng Zhenglin’s rage was ignited, and he hit her in the face. “Whore, dare to bite me? I will kill you!”

He was unbuckling her trousers as he spoke, but now he hit her harder than before. Gu Qingxin’s mouth began bleeding, and she didn’t have the strength left to resist…

Just as Meng Zhenglin was about to have his way, a dark shadow rushed towards him and knocked him down.

Meng Zhenglin stared at the massive figure before him, his soul almost leaving his body, “Wolf…a wolf!”

There was no time to think further. He got up and ran, but the creature disdainfully watched the man scurrying away, then pounced, pinning the fleeing man to the ground and sinking his teeth into his throat.

“Leave him alive.”

At the sound of the light voice, the creature promptly released the man’s throat. Just as Meng Zhenglin let out a sigh of relief, the creature bent its head down…

A scream echoed through the room, and Meng Zhenglin’s eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets…

Beiming Han approached Gu Qingxin, and as he saw her in her pitiful state, a thick murderous intent flashed through his eyes.

He took off his jacket and placed it over her. As he bent down to pick her up, Gu Qingxin began to scream in fright, “Get away, don’t touch me…don’t touch me, don’t touch me…”

She stopped calling for help, already realizing that there was no one here to rescue her….
